what kind of mind calculations you use?
thanks and good luck for your exams
okay,here i start..
most of the members here yesterday read my "equilibrium story upon gold" at chat room.someone saved it, i will paste the entire stuff later.
when i start off, i look at weekly or monthly trend. we were falling since monday so..we sold till wednesday. starting thursday i was expecting a trend reversal so i gave buy calls.on friday even though i knew its heading towards 680 $ marke when it cut past 697 $ , i didnt sell.reason? >> entire weak it was falling..many people like us who sold at 771 or above will cover it up n re-buy at any price.so profit-booking might happen.thus we buyed at 680 regoin..with a "deadly risky" tag. as either it would have met stoploss or a huge rally would have come...thats sentimental studies..n yesterday as expected a heavy recovery occured. general idea is..stay in trend..know ur stoploss..n gauge the sentiments. out of these....trend n stoploss is provided by techniccal analysis..but the direction of entry is sentiment analysis.
sentiment analysis??
thts the backbone of elliote wave trading.its just tht i dont understand elliote waves,but my simple theory about peoples sentiments mostly goes synchronised with elliote wave .how do i do tht??? ..... put urself in different perspectives. u see things from a trader who is still holding his sell from 910 $..u look at this from a trader who bought at 740 $ long ago before the fall... u look at price action from a buyer holding from 845 $..so different point of views u can get.then i have a simple rule "join the minority".
join the minority???
if thr are say 10 people in a room. out of 10, 7 will be bullish in gold n are willing to buy. other 3 ppl are holding sell position.they are in minority.sentimentally 7 people will bid the lowest to buy those 3 ppls trade.so u go n join those 3...u will be the term dictator . now simple make that 10 ppl into 10 million ppl, so 7 million bullish sentiments vs 3 million bearish sentiment. those 7 million bullish ppl will have to bid the lowest in order to get bearish ppl out of the market..thus bearish sentiment wins !!!
how i judge bullish to bearish sentiment ratio?? simple hang out at kitco n here..u will get many ppl sharing thr own view. just keep a mind tally..how many are bullish n how many are bearish..! u will have a small understanding of sentiment ratio. this is a mind game of mine.
example..on thursday newyork session everyone went short as soon as 700 $ was broken below(general sentiment said below 700 , its 680 $ as tgt)..but prices soared up to 732 $ after giving a fake fall.we buyed a medium term at 705 n a short term at 712 $.hope u remember that.there was sentimental analysis involved. plus a trap check.
see technical analysis was crying out loud for a tgt of 680 $ once 700 $ was broken on thursday. but that would have been a easy meat for any lion.so prices broke 700 below..then went till 730. shattered every technical analysists dream.they will say market is manipulated.will anyone short again if 700 $ is broken below next day? ...no. he/she gets too scared from yesterdays fake fall.so on friday 700 got broken..melted till 680 $ ..now one would say "damn i knw it yesterday but it happened 2day ". thursday "sentiments played" and on friday "technical analysis played".
so my mind calculation is all about sentiments. charting technicals is another aspect.this is like a needle n thread combination.using both u can do alot of handcraft. seperating them gives nothing..!hope i didnt bore u guys.if u have any doubts,pls ask
